You have way too much faith in a man who has never been tested before. Mir is far more experienced than JDS.

Experience means little when you are as good a striker as JDS my friend. Lesnar demolished him twice, Carwin just about took his head off and big Nog had him out and didnt jump on him. None of those men have near the ability of JDS, he is a killing machine inside the octagon with his boxing and its gonna be lights out in no time!

mir aint a bad striker but hes not on jds level. jds fought well and deserves alot of credit. mir didnt look that determined to get it on the ground though, maybe he couldnt or thought he could hang with junior in the striking area

Thank you my friend, however it was obvious from the go that Mir would not be able to ground JDS and thus the inevitable outcome of a stand up confrontation would be Mir sleeping on the mat

Mir can hang with 2nd and 3rd tier fighters and even look like cream at times, however i have stated many times he is so far from being a top tier fighter he should give up any hopes of even a future contenders match.

As I said before, Mir is becoming outclassed with the kind of talent coming into the UFC now.He's headed down the path of Chuck Liddel.
